News *** Francis Ngannou Free Agency/Contract/Decision Making Discussion MEGA THREAD ***

[krelianx]

If anyone doubts at this point that Ngannou is a moron, they are morons themselves.

 

[Humongo]

Too many people gloating and making fun of Ngannou for his choices. Even if he made a huge mistake, it was his mistake to make. He came from nothing and already achieved much. Look in the mirror folks.

There is a lesson to be learned: don't bite the hand that feeds you

 

[krelianx]

BKFC is a carny sideshow like powerslap. Big Frank should just fight Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder, collect a bajillion dollars, then retire

Except he wont make a bajillion dollars from those fights. His stock drastically drops once he doesn't have the belt, even if he never lost it. And he wasn't really a household name like Conor to begin with.

 

[World eater]

Yes, people have no right to criticise!

He is so stunning and brave!

Many criticize, which is fine. Some gloat and ridicule. If you see no difference between the two, I can’t help you. The weirdest thing is that some of those who shit on him now, usually shit on the UFC which makes me think they just want to shit on someone online from the safety of their keyboards

Fair points, sherbro!

It is what it is.

All UFC fighters are just bums and were never any good!

If Francis was in pursuit of financial gain or even benefits there's no logic in thinking BKFC had more to offer

It should be obvious to anyone. BKFC is just clout chasing.

The black beast fight and then being in the shadow while DC v Stipe and DC v Jones played out like Francis struggling to grow his brand. If he beat Lewis things would have been so different for him popularity wise IMO.

Francis doesnt seem like a smart guy.
hope I am wrong and he makes all the money but he refused to sign with the UFC which was actually the highest for a HW.

everyone wants to paid more but he had even weird comments like insurance. with all that money you can buy the best insurance you dont need UFC to pay for it.
anyway, seems like a big mistake by him

 

[BigDeadFreak]

Back to the mines

I'm at work trying to pretend I'm working but that genuinely made me laugh out loud.

 

[corrupted]

LOL

BKFC is known for taking care of their fighters. Ngannou must have asked for a gazillion dollars.

1st thing I thought, if they can get thirsty ass b*tches in there like VanZant and Gonzalez who make millions off shaking their cooch's on camera, make them sign up to get their precious faces slashed open....they must pay well.

Frankie fucked it. There's a few things that he doesn't seem to understand. Demetrious Johnson should have called him to explain. Being the best doesn't mean that people will pay you the most if you have the personality of an Uber Driver. You have to engage your audience. Or your opponent's. Without that connection, you WILL be forgotten fast.

The boxers that convinced him this was a good idea fucked him. They used his name to get in with a few more fans and get their names in a few more places. Tyson even passed him the ball at the DW fight and he just stood there like a lottery winner with the big fake cheque in his hand.

Francis draws a crowd like a open road. Someone really has to speak to him.

I'll say you are not wrong. His agency are hollywood A list guild. He's swimming with sharks out there. He'll end on Dancing With Stars if his knees can hack it

He should asking for millions

The UFC offered him at least 8 million per fight

It would be dumb to fight for anything less than that

it would be really dumb to walk away from the 8 million dollar fights without having a better deal lined up beforehand.

 

[Zaar]

Maybe Ngannou can accept "smaller" amounts but ask to have it in the contract that if he wins (Yeah, I know) he gets some kind of "absurd" amount?

 

[Trabaho]

8 per fight or for multiple fights ? 8 sounds huge. Maybe 1 fight vs Jones that sells 750 k with the ppv is worth 8 mils. 8 mills for multiple fights in a row sounds a tad unrealistic.

 

[Goutfather]

Demetrious Johnson should have called him to explain. Being the best doesn't mean that people will pay you the most if you have the personality of an Uber Driver.

it doesn’t help that francis isn’t actually “the best,” in mma, boxing, or anything else. he had a golden opportunity and he flushed it down the shitter. jones came in and effectively mopped up what was left of nggano’s hype. in a year or two it will be like he never existed.

his problem is nobody else is going to offer him that and now that he shopped himself around and the UFC sees he's gotten no bites, they'll offer him even less to come back.

if only it were that easy

Someone shoop Ngannou as Dr Evil! @Buff

Nagganou at BKFC office

Someone did do this shoop if you go back a little.
